she was bred to Gen. Knox, the produce
being Ridley's Knox. SO great was the
reputation of both sire and dam, this colt
was looked upon as the coming horse of
New England. While he possessed as
much speed as anybody's horse, as trot-
ter he was an entire failure. Owing to a
deformity, one forward foot being in
clined to toe out, he hit himself so badly
that it was impossible to prevent injury.
When started, he would speed a two
minute clip and carry it thirty or forty
rods perhaps, then hit himself and break
and run fast enough to brighten one.
However strange it may seem, this de-
formity was not visited upon any of his
progeny. But to return to the subject of
this sketch. This mare was sold when
nine years old to Chas. G.. jackson of
Winthrop, who bought her for Jos. G..
Rounds of Boston for $1,000. She was
kept and driven by him about year,

for money after leaving the State was
match race, two men to wagon, which
she won in 2.33. also learned that the

five hundred dollars for each service.

having enlisted parties in Boston to trace
them. Mr.. Copeland is dead, and have
so far been unable to learn the gentle
mans name to whom he sold her, but
gathered the foregoing from parties who
had it from Mr.. Copeland before his de-
cease, and a portion of it from Mr..
Rounds, who sold her to Mr.. Copeland.

MASSACHUSETTS MORGAN.
Wayne, Me.
From Western Sportsman

From Western Sportsman
Some time in 1920 Owen Brown took a
mare which was one-half English blood
from Sutton, Mass, to Sutton. VT, and
bred her to Howard Morgan, a son of Sher-
man Morgan, the produce being a hand
some filly. Not long after it was drop
ped, Messrs. C.. and L. Wheelock of SUIT
ton. Mass, were at Browns place and
bought the tilly, taking her to Sutton,
where, under their watchful care, she
developed into beautiful-styed animal.
weighing, when heaviest, Ills pounds.
She had local reputation of being an
untiring roadster and possessing wonder
full intelligence. In the summer of 1912
the Messrs. Wheelock. with three others.
induced the owner of Hale's Green Noun
tain Morgan to bring that horse to SUIT
ton, on guaranteeing him four mares at
IS each. One of the mares which they
bred was this daughter of Howard Nor
gan, and on June -, 1913, she foaled a
colt that was christened Massachusetts
Morgan, which grew to be one of the
finest-styled and fastest horses of his day,
weighing 1000 pounds.
He, like his sire, was noted parade
horse, always being in great demand at
musters. He was of Il beautiful chestnut
color and typical Morgan in build. His
disposition was perfect. He was used on
the pillow before cattle and as horse for
general farm work, and at the same time
doing stud duty. AS sire he was a sue
cess. His colts were highly valued as
driving animals, one Of them selling for
Sl625 in 1855. His best colt, known as
Jim, trotted the half-mile track in Wor-
cester, when twenty years old, in 2 80,
and drew his owner from Worcester to
Sutton, seven miles, in twenty minutes.
He lived to be twenty-eight years old
Another of his colts was Worces ter
Boy, horse which showed wonderful
speed and won number of races. Be-
sides these three he sired many others
which were very speedy and very fine
roadsters. The Messrs. Wheelock sold
Worcester, Mass, which was before his
star as a sire had commenced to shine.
While in the hands of Mr.. Gates he was
shown at many horse fairs, doing his
mile in three minutes and winning many
prizes. He probably did more for the
horse stock of Worcester county than
any horse that ever stood here. He died
soon after Mr.. Gates disposed of him.

CANADA.

We haye recently made a third trip into
Canada, and although in these trips we
have learned the breeders and breeding
for several generations of st. Lawrence
and the reputed breeding of Columbus
coming from the party who sold him in
Canada and close by where he was bred,
and have learned the breeders and breed
ing of the Brandywines and Crawford
horse, or Norman as he was called, that
went to Maine, and great many other
pedigrees of lesser and larger note. we
haven't yet begun to explore this field
and shall hope in a few days to return for
longer time.
We have fallen in love with Lower
Canada. 1t is most magnificent cOun-
try. The eastern townships are very
similar to Vermont, both in character of
its land and to a fair extent of its people !;
but the object of this article was to men,
ton startling piece of entirely new evil
dence on the origin and history of Justin
Morgan, that in its tenor fully sustained
his pedigree as given so completely by
John Morgan, and published in Mr.. Lin
sley's book, and still more established
the fact, now perfectly evident to any
sensible man, that the Figure Horse and
Justin Morgan were the same, and that
the Justin Morgan passed into the hands
of Mr.. Rice of Woodstock and from him
to Mr.. Shepherd of Montpelier, and, it
seems from this evidence, after that went
to or near Burlington.
This evidence is from Deacon Nathan 5.
Benham of Derby Center, an old man of
most exemplary character and remarkable
memory, now Sc years old. Mr.. Benham
said that Mr.. Nathan Nye, who moved
from Randolph to Derby, where he died
between 20 and so years old, he thought,
over 40 years ago, gave him repeatedly
the history of the original Morgan horse.
He said this horse was brought to Ran
dolph from Hartford, Conn, by Justin
Morgan, who used him for different work
and in the stud that he could outdraw,
outrun, Outwalk or outtrot any horse
that could be found, and did do it repeat
eddy on bets. Mr.. Benham thought this
horse was imported in the Revolutionary
war by French officer and was captur-
ed or in some way came into the hands
of Mr.. Morgan. After Mr.. Morgan
brought him to Randolph he was sold and
went up to Burlington or Essex, when,
his colts proving very good, parties went
there and bought him back. "Nye said he
was brought up from Hartford; he was
sold to Burlington or near Burlington
and bought back. He went towards Bur-
Hngton that | know; they found this
stock so good they got him back-thats
what he told me. A French officer
brought him over in time of the Revolu-
ton; one of the officers, don't know how
Morgan got him."
To question how Mr.. Nye knew about
it; she knew it from himself, an eve
witness, lived at Randolph at time Nor
gan had horse, and knew about it,"
In this story, though confused by time
and passage the history of Beautiful Bay,
the sire of Justin Morgan is apparent;
owned, not imported, although his sire
was, by an officer in the Revolution, and
with French name Delaney.
